I currently don't have an in-unit dryer, so I have to hang dry my clothes. My clothes feel hard after drying since my water isn't the softest
This week's poll was suggested by Afiaki. How do you normally dry the majority of your clothes?

We're primarily a manga site, so I'm not surprised to see Japanese as the top
This week's poll was inspired by something Nyxsha suggested, but it's not quite what they had in mind. Can you read raw manga, manhua, or manhwa?

Few of us our good. Maybe we should pay our artists more?
This week we have another poll from lollylopmr. Have you ever drawn in the manga, anime, or webtoon style? How good are you? Any samples? Or are you like me and terrible at art?

The villains seldom see themselves as evil. They tend to feel justified in their actions to do the greater good.
This week's fun poll was suggested by jacob66. Let's say that you discover a prophecy that you will become the next super villain due to some specific events that will happen. What do you do with this knowledge? Do you believe that the future can be changed with this knowledge? Do you even want to change the future?

No title is too long? You guys are crazy.
This week's poll was suggested by LazyReviewer. Generally it's the isekai series that have long titles, but when does it get too long? I don't know what the actual longest title is, but here's an example of a long one: Isekai Shoukansareta Kita Seijo-sama ga "Kareshi ga Shinda" to Naku Bakari de Hataraite kuremasen. Tokorode Sono Shinda Kareshi, Zense no Ore desu ne.

I feel like many of us have inflated opinions of our memory
This week's poll was suggested by Nyxsha and deals with the ever-growing genre of transmigration. The poll specifically deals with being taken to a book world. How would you like your memory to be? (Or realistically, how good is your memory?) For myself, realistically, if it's the world of Wheel of Time, I'd remember a lot. It's just downhill from there...
